DLX simulator in teaching computer architecture Experimental Study on the Application Abstract: DLX simulator software to write papers on behalf of the working process simulation of DLX pipeline can be flexible and easy to set up parameters, control, execution and statistical data, and provides an intuitive window displays. Practice shows that the method can contribute to a better understanding of the curriculum, such as water technology, related, directional, scoreboard algorithm and Tomasulo algorithm more complex and abstract content, the understanding of pipeline simulators, as well as processor performance evaluation, We have more help. Keywords: DLX simulator; WinDLX; DLXView; water technology 1 Introduction Computer system structure is a computer science and technical expertise of a core curriculum, and most important one of the professional foundation courses. The curriculum emphasizes whole structures, systems analysis point of view to study the computer system. Through this course of study, to enable students to understand the inner workings of a computer system, as well as hardware, software interface into the trade-off strategies to establish a complete, holistic concept of computer hardware and software systems [1]. This course is highly theoretical, teaching and learning difficult. Courses taught in many of the elements, such as instruction pipelining, vector calculations, pipeline-related, parallel computing, orientation technology, etc. are relatively abstract so that students in learning or understanding of both will have a certain degree of difficulty, thus affecting the students interest in learning and teaching effect. Foreign Universities in the course of teaching and experiments, have been widely used DLX simulator for analysis and testing. Therefore, the use of theoretical teaching and practical teaching closely integrated approach to study the curriculum and improve teaching methods, will be able to help students improve understan
